Bullying Prevention and Intervention Strategies That Work

The Springfield Exchange will host a panel of experts to share their
knowledge and experiences on bullying prevention and intervention
strategies on July 12 at noon at the Prince of Peace Lutheran Church,
8304 Old Keene Mill Road, Springfield. Debra Lane, principal of Oak View
Elementary School, and Danielle Higginbotham, a member of the
Fairfax-Falls Church Community Services Board, will address topics
including, how to recognize a bully, what victims of bullying can do, and
what teachers and parents can do to prevent bullying.

The Springfield Community Luncheon is free and open to the community.
Residents are encouraged to bring brown bag lunches; coffee and tea will
be complimentary. Lunch begins at 11:30 a.m. and the presentation runs
from noon to 1:30 p.m. RSVP are not required. Residents can park in the
rear or on either side of the church and proceed to the Fellowship Hall.

Bullying is a serious issue in schools, homes and in the community. The
panel is designed to address bullying and share their knowledge and
experiences on ways to help those in need.
